 Whoops, can you guys hear me? I hope so Put a one in the chat put a one in the chat. Oh, I'll go down. Okay, good. So All good now. How do you sell? So I sell online and in person so we have a fire sale or a quick sale usually a recorder and then we do Art shows gallery use And fairs and then we also have other social media and so I'm going to sell this one by Making it look better. So ultimately I've had this piece for Too long at this point. It hasn't sold yet. So I'm going to improve it and then I Think it'll sell and if it doesn't then we'll just rework it. I hate Covering work completely that I've done So that you can't see The previous layers so this current layer don't mind the resin I mixed my resin on top of this piece. So there's a lot of cells with tints There's a lot of depth with a few of the colors. There's floating golds A whole bunch of really nice cells and textures But it didn't sell so Now what we're going to do today is Improve it so that it does sell and the way I'm going to do that is using translucent Pigments so translucent pigments are pigments that you can see through and opaque pigments are Pigments that you cannot see through The only okay, so here's my colors. I'm using passion base cell white. This is an opaque white You cannot see through it. It is solid I'm also using a translucent red, which means that you can sort of see through it But it's not translucent. It's got like a haze to it. So like consider like frosted glass as Translucent but not transparent. So like you can see through it, but the images would be distorted And I'm also using transparent The red by the way is cherry from color obsession And the blue shade that I'm using is Aqua tint from color obsession with a drop of blue lagoon in it to make it kind of a moodier aqua and this one I put six drops in so it's kind of a darker color and this one I Put like Three drops in so it's a very light color and that's just kind of the beauty of Transparent tenses no matter how much of the pigment you use you'll always be able to see through it But the depth of tone will change and Then the last color is copper from color passion. It's powder. I don't use a lot of powders, but When I do There's statement powders like this one This will be a floating copper. So it'll do a whole bunch of awesome looks as well. Alright, so let's start With the art JK let me get you guys a little bit higher up so you can see the full piece Damn you want to eat the copper Whatever you want my lady So I haven't done a pour that's just kind of all over and sporadic and messy for a while and so that's what we're gonna do I'm going to Kind of design where I'm putting these colors depending on Kind of what I want to show from the first layer and Since I already have a lot of blue over here, I'm not going to put a lot of my blues that are like this one that are Tonally the same. This is the same color, but a couple more drops. So it's a little bit darker I'm not going to waste all of my dark over well I'm gonna have to put some of the dark in this area because I only made six ounces of resin, but that'll be fine. This is a 15 inch Maybe an 18 inch round From my shop artist till death comm which is where you can get all of these colors and the cradle board a cradle board is just It's like a canvas, but it doesn't have canvas on it. It's just Board or wood so that that way It's not going to dip in the middle from all the the weight of the resin. Oh I'm so excited about how it looked this part right here is me. We're really excited and I'll show you up close in just a moment So now I'm going to put the red in Some areas I don't want the red to take over Want it to just be hints Red and aqua are Probably one of my favorite color combinations I'm not really sure why I've just always loved them together and ultimately If you know color theory They're always going to look good together because of their position on the color wheel. They just play off of each other super nice and Even if they do mix they give a good secondary color which would be kind of a purpley shade All right I think Was it really vamp? I love that So I'm going to go ahead and just smear this around I'm avoiding the red right now because I don't want to Get my little fingies dirty with Red until I'm ready to incorporate that through the rest of the piece So I'm just pushing everything up to the red and then kind of just skipping over the red This is definitely a point in the process where you just have to trust the process It doesn't look like much right now but It will I hope It will I'm sure I'm mostly sure I believe Okay, so we have that all mixed in for the most part Now I'm going to just kind of feather out some of this red And I can't wait to show you guys that this looks like a close Now this is I'm pretty sure at this point going to be a background for A portrait that I want to do with my texture style I really like incorporating a bunch of different mediums Into the same piece pardon me you guys I need a rag Got it I like incorporating a lot of different styles in the same piece because I don't know it just It makes it different makes it unique it broadens your Like artistic range In my opinion I'm not a pro just me But it's that's my opinion Super loving it so far I'm kind of Putting off adding the whites. I don't want it to look like Merca I love America It's where I live I don't want it to give like Pepsi vibes or like Fourth of July vibes So I'm going to try to be particular with it Oh, I don't want to make pink. So we're going to Be one swipe wonder with it So I don't know if you guys saw what I was just doing kind of that windshield wiper type of Movement and so I pushed the white Over and under the red and so it's giving me pink But then from here on I just went whoosh and so then I just got that smoky Look and not so much the pink Which is what I'm going for is that little smoky look Hey Clara. How are you feeling? Emma says have you tried a palette knife painting over resin yet? I love it when people do it and flood coat, but it's all glossy with a bit peeking out. So I haven't Coated one of my palette knife pieces yet, but I'm planning on coating the one That I'm going to do on this piece so essentially no, but In a minute I'm going to Hopefully I'm planning on it with this piece Also, since we have that under painting already established There's going to be a lot of depth in the piece so what I'm doing is Super light skimming over the top of it if you don't trust yourself doing this then you can Get a swiping paper or a palette knife or a Bondo spreader and that would make it easier for For you if it's Making you nervous at all so usually I have a few lighter lines in my work When it's just resin if I'm doing a finish but I am not going to Have that on this piece because I Want the back to be fully fluid so that it's not a distraction from the Painting I'm going to put on top of it Treatments start next week. That's awesome. I'm glad you're finally have like a game plan All right last white line and then we're going to go in with a copper and then we're going to manipulate it around and see How extra awesome we can make it also It's worth noting that I'm wiping my hand off after every pass So that I'm not contaminating each time I swipe my hand across the surface All right, let's heat it. Nope jk Let's put our copper now the copper I'm going to allow to be um A more harsh line I'm just going to try to keep it super thin Just a little tendrils tendrils tendrils tendrils Words are hard that one was way more than a tendril, but That's okay. I'm going to bring you guys down just for a second to show you The copper Look how yummy that is It almost doesn't want to pick up on camera So it's a floating copper, but some does sink as well And you can see the spine already coming up through the middle of it that's where the Particles are pinching together as it's sinking Now let's put some heat on it and see if I can make more bits of that copper Rise to the surface Yep, the spine is gone And it's starting to do that stuff that may run does it gives me that little We're gonna put my heat gun right here. Cool. It gives me those little Where are you? Little flex that looks like pencil Those little dots the freckles of particles that are floating up That also indicates that If you were to fully incorporate this pigment into Everything like if I were to swipe over that copper Can you guys even see the little confetti looking not confetti I'll bring you guys down and show you again Let me forget what I'm saying If you were to just mix The copper into the whole piece If I were to just swipe it right now that copper would fully take over And be a complete distraction Let me pull this hair out and then I don't know why I don't use more of this copper But I'm going to now me See all those little Specs, I love that. They're very obvious in person I just love how that looks it just It's just like string lights of copper flex I like that it's not a stagnant line of The solid color there's some variance to it And that is from overloading that copper pigment So you can see here the copper that has sunk And then the copper that is floating has that bright color to it and then the sunk copper is a darker shade And what's happening is this table that I'm on is not level So it is sinking and pushing everything that way. So it's going to have this little cast shadow And so that gives a little bit extra dimension Oh, I love this copper so much Okay I'm not going to make you guys just sit here and listen to me go on and on about this copper So I really like how it looks. I'm thinking I'm going to tilt it just a smidgen Just to um kind of stretch out the copper have some stuff rolling over a little bit more Like this So now I've stretched the copper copper and so It's left this look from Essentially all the translucent and transparent pushing over This sunken parts of the copper, but it'll resins thicker. So it's going to keep a hold of you know itself And so it'll just stretch But when you do oscillating lines like this oscillating variable lines, I don't know You can make it look like it's lapping over itself because you've got a highlight built in right there and then the shadow So it can look like cloth when you do that I am really digging how this looks. I may not even use it as a background, but I'm I have my mindset on that's what it's going to be. So we'll see but I love it It'll be a great background, but it also will be great as is Pardon me while I clear out space in the dust free zone. Did you guys tune in the other day? When I showed how to do these texture bubbles for oceans If you didn't and you want to know how to do A texture foam This is already Dried It looks better than my other one. Look how big those bubbles are that stayed You want to get wild and crazy with it? You can like brush over Like a black and create like this literally a lace look I mean, obviously not on an ocean. Don't get crazy so What do you guys think of my aqua copper? and red piece the copper just balances the broad Distance between the aqua and the copper But red and aqua always make The complementary colors stand out so well What's up, Arlene? And then you can also still see this is from the previous pour So you can still see that and then the Pour that we just did today will cast a shadow You can't see it. I'm here because I have too many lights from too many directions, but I love it. I think this piece turned out exactly like I had it in my head Now I'll be able to Hopefully sell this one and if it doesn't then guess what we're going to do more to it Oh my piece from yesterday. I haven't even looked at it. Oh it bled This wasn't a fully smooth canvas and kind of the colors Got lost because they were translucent. You could see through them, but I'm going to revisit this because I thought it was a cute idea Do you guys have any questions for me about? um creating artwork selling artwork color theory Any of that sort before I just this class for the day If you haven't joined our Facebook group ATDs poor people you should because it's a great group full of a whole bunch of helpful people and beautiful inspiration We tell all the tips tricks secrets and whatever In that group as well These are my reusable stir sticks. So I don't have to use amount of Popsicle sticks every time I decided to pour Thanks Arlene If you're interested in these colors, they were color passion top-cell whites Color passion copper powder color obsession cherry And color obsession aqua tint with a little bit of the blue lagoon tint makes into it I almost threw these away Feel so productive when I get my space clean So yeah, once that is set up. I want to do A portrait on it similar to this one Or maybe that one or maybe the other one I have in the hallway You should do it uh emma Clara the cherry was out Used it all today all the rest of it.
